THE NEW BALIKPAPAN SEPINGGAN AIRPORT

10:34 PM

As promised on my previous post, finally I updated SRS
Blog with the new fresh look of my hometown's airport (Balikpapan, East
Kalimantan). I was amazed with its new building and runway structure,
replacing old structure when I arrived in Balikpapan Sepinggan (Sultan Aji
Muhammad Sulaiman) airport last April and the most important is Sepinggan airport has its own forest inside the building (you can see it from picture above), it's so unique because it truly represents Kalimantan/Borneo. So what now? let's have a tour to see what Balikpapan Sepinggan airport currently has in store.

Seriously as a citizen, I feel so proud. Sepinggan Airport is the 6thbusiest airport in Indonesia and becomes the busiest airport in Kalimantan province with 7.1 million passenger traffic in 2013. There are so many retail & services outlets, convenience stores provided with a wide range of products at Balikpapan Sepinggan airport and I hope it’ll become like Singapore Changi airport soon not only for departing and arriving but also a best place for shopping and dining.

While I was waiting for the flight to Manado, I decided to go to Gogo Franks for buying some snacks and drinks inside the waiting room.

Wow. You should see the airport in Bandung. It's really really small! x(And hello to you, fellow indonesian blogger! I'm having a designer pouch giveaway going on, be sure to join! Go and check it out! :)
